This award-winning artist originates from "Colorful Colorado". With nature playing a huge part in her childhood, it comes as no surprise to find the earth's beauty to be what compels Elaine Frenett to paint. After extensive travel, she returned to her dream - of becoming an artist. In 1991 Ms. Frenett graduated from San Jose State University with a BS in Graphic Design, focusing in Illustration. As an Illustrator, she has been published from New York to San Francisco. Eventually, Elaine's interest shifted to fine art, where she now finds more personal satisfaction and reward. Frenett's pieces are currently in collections private, corporate, museum and international. See more of her work at the Ashland Art Center where she also has her studio.

Her current passions include Visual Art Journaling and she leads workshops and retreats, locally & internationally, to spread her enthusiasm. Go to: http://visualartjournaling.wordpress.com/ to view more of her Visual Art Journal work.
